Would any developer like to volunteer to take care of the mailing lists? I'm 
retiring from it. Here are the usual tasks:

* Clear the ffmpeg-devel moderation ideally on a daily basis. It isn't time 
consuming but involves approving legit messages/patches (first check to see if 
it is not a duplicate submission which is a common occurrence), 
approving/rejecting oversized messages, rejecting misplaced messages while 
directing the user to the correct list, and clearing the unending spam.

* Reply to messages to *-ow...@ffmpeg.org. Some of these are legit questions 
requesting mailing list help. Many are from users blindly sending to the wrong 
address. I'm guessing there are usually just a few per month.

* Investigate issues reported by users. It would be helpful if you have/get 
access to the server to view mail logs.

* Occasionally send removal requests to blocklists.

* Maintain mailing-list-faq.html.

It would be best if you have some mail related experience but it's not 
necessary. Most of all you need to be patient, able to tolerate repetition, and 
be able to communicate normally without being rude or overly terse. You also 
need to be impartial and not use the mailing list as a personal tool to censor 
or ban someone you don't like.
